“People around me always saw me as a typical Harvard man,” Calvin Yang said. “It was like my dream.”

His application was stellar: a GPA over 4.0, a 1550 on the SAT and two varsity sports.

Yang had also founded a policy startup in Canada that helped pass landmark legislation aimed at tackling climate change, landing him a spot on Canada’s 30 under 30 list. He even co-organized what was called the largest climate protest in American history, attracting over 300,000 people.

The 21-year-old did everything in his power to become the “Harvard man” he had always dreamed of being.

So when he opened a rejection letter from the school, he was “shocked.”

“I remember just sitting in my room reading that letter over and over again and making sure that I hadn’t mistaken anything,” he told The Post.

...Four out of five Americans say colleges should not consider race or ethnicity in admissions decisions, according to Pew Research polling released this week.

Although the majority of all races polled oppose race-conscious admissions, Asian and black Americans were more likely to support race considerations (21% and 28% respectively) than white (15%) and Hispanic respondents (16%).

Seems to be an excellent group. They even have a form to fill out if you feel you have been discriminated against at a college.

You can be sure the left will try to continue their bigotry against Asians and whites, but the tide is turning.

Killing race in admissions consideration should also extend to all preferences, e.g., females and gender challenged; RACE is basis of all nonacadic consideration thus without Race the idea of preferences should be dead.

One can have a 2,000 SAT score and still be a Climate Cretin.

It’s that way with all religions.

In my family history, it wasn’t easy to be in this country. You couldn’t rely on anything else but yourself.”

But you COULD rely upon yourself! That was the difference America made. Even minorities who had a tougher row to hoe could prevail economically if they, as the English say, just got on with it.
